Hello Saigon turns 1!
One year ago, I wasn’t sure how this blog will turn out or if I would have the energy and diligence to see this through. All I I knew then was that I just squandered more than a year of my stay in Saigon with no meaningful things to share. Not that I was lazing my days away — but we all know that the written word is powerful and writing things down actually lead to better things ahead.
And wouldn’t you know it, Hello Saigon turns 1 today!
So today I thank everyone who may one way or the other have stumbled upon my adventures. I’ve actually met some terrific people through this blog! Thank you also for commenting — you don’t know that I look forward to reading the comments section each day!
Hello Saigon opened my eyes to look at each Saigon day with wonder. And hopefully, I’ve imparted some of that wonder to you.
Last October 20, I launched My Favorite Things as part of the celebration of Hello Saigon’s first birthday. I’ve prepared vouchers to give away to you! From the 10 vouchers, I added one more making it 11 gifts to give away! 11 people sent valid entries and each will receive a gift. It’s not much but I hope you appreciate the gesture. In the next few days, I’ll be sending an email to each one on how to claim their respective gifts.
Since there is no right or wrong answer — I’ve decided on a raffle instead.
Then I placed ’em all in 2 hats:
5 Yoga by Daphne Vouchers
Bec Love
Gloria Chiam
Katrina
Serena
Soki
2 Day Climbing Passes by Paul Massad
Alaina
Chad
200,000 VND Gift Voucher from Vietnam Quilts (I added this one!)
Celine
400,000 VND Gift Voucher from UMA
Rina
400,000 VND Gift Voucher from Geisha
Grace
500,000 VND Gift Voucher from Vietnam Quilts
